Remove from heat and add peanut butter. Stir in completely and then stir in the oatmeal one cup at a time. When thoroughly mixed, drop by teaspoonful onto waxed paper or clean dry surface. Set up time is appoximately 5 minutes.

NO-FAIL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• In a large mixing bowl, mash the butter with white sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time, then mix in the chocolate chips. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoon onto baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing cookies to finish cooling.

NO FAIL SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add eggs and vanilla.
• Mix dry ingredients and add to butter mixture.
• Mix well.
• Chill for 1 to 2 hours or see HINT below.
• Roll to desired thickness and cut into desired shapes.
• Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until just beginning to turn brown around the edges.
• HINT: Rolling out dough without the mess-rather than wait for the dough to chill, take freshly made dough and place a glob between two sheets of parchment paper.
• Roll it out to the desired thickness then place the dough with paper on a cookie sheet and pop it in the refrigerator.
• Continue rolling dough between paper until you have used it all.
• By the time you finish preparing the dough, the first batch will be chilled and ready to cut.
• Reroll left over dough and repeat the process.
• An added bonus is that you aren't adding any more flour to the cookies by rolling them out the old fashioned way.
